we're pretty sure it is obama. the other piece that's really not been talked about this week which i find a little chilling is that in addition to al-awlaki, okay, he was apparently a bad guy director of external operations which you know, a title. they got his son who was 16. in most countries that's considered a sort of war crimish. he's a juvenile. he's a child. >> there are a lot of people that i talk to and that we hear from that say you have personally, a certain threshold of what's acceptable and not acceptable. and the fact that this country is killing innocent children with drones, like it or not they're collateral damage or whatever you want to call them, killing children, that's the threshold. that's too much. that's too far. that's when you gotta stop supporting -- you know, what we're doing. >> he wasn't collateral damage. he was targeted. the 16-year-old was targeted. >> bill: assuming he was part of his father's operation but again, you know, he may have been. i think all of us are more comfortable w

president obama had the courage to back him. and it turned out to be successful. in comparison, if i may say so, with what the europeans have done with their banks, where nobody knows what the numbers are, they apply a stress test that was meaningless and here we are some number of years later, they were still, and rightly so, enormous questions about many of the european banks. i think tim has done an excellent job. >> do you push for enough regulation? people look at compensation on wall street and say it's still too much. >> well i don't think that compensation was the purview of tim. you could argue about compensation one way or another and argue what role it played. that's an issue that the policy community is going to have to deal with going forward. but, it wasn't central to what he had to do. >> do you think compensation played a role? obviously the other critique on you has been that you were paid a huge amount of money, $100 million plus. no one's ever asked me and i was wondering if i could, did you get to keep all that money? a lot of it was in stock.
